Hello UFO Center, I am very hesitant to report this because I know in our society Aliens are not taken seriously.. It was dark outside and suddenly we heard a noise coming from afar it sounded like a mix between an jet plane and a jet ski. It was really weird and then we saw it in the distance a light, it appeared convex kind of like an old TV. It's hard to explain it was like a convex square. My friend Joeseph agreed with me(he was there) that he saw it too. We felt energy and love come over us.. I am not religious but for a moment I thought it may have been jesus. My friend said Jesus was fake and that it was probably an alien. I thought aliens were hostile but idk I am open minded to the possibility of life outside of humans after this experience.

I emailed this report to your organization's director on Jan. 7 soon after the sighting. This is a video of a possible UFO I spotted from near the dike off Pomeroy Terrace in Northampton, MA, USA at around 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 7, 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKFMNoTvKe0 It appeared in the southeast sky. I shot this video with an iPhone and zoomed in further with editing software. The first 50 seconds or so is the zoomed-in version. After that, it's the regular shot. I have no idea what the object is. I'm not a UFO expert so I'm not making any claims as to what it may be. But I am very curious to find out more from reputable sources. I reported it to the National UFO Reporting Center and the Massachusetts National Guard just for good measure. I did not immediately hear back from either organization.

1 glowing yellow object (indeterminate shape) with visible white/grey plume trailing behind moved very quickly parallel to ground high overhead, broke into 2 objects (both with plumes), building obscured more observation. Entire duration of observation lasted ~5 seconds as the objects were moving very fast. No sound at all was observed. Observers were local college student and local resident of same age.

Noticed an object near local small airport, figured it was a plane, but realized there were no wings. Saw red light and said to my 11yr old here comes a helicopter. So we watched as it was coming closer, until it slightly turned and the Sun brightly reflected off its side and nearly made it invisible. Realizing no sound, thought it was a balloon, but it was a perfect triangle. Staying at about 600' above ground, it traveled North filling the CT river, winding as the river does. Seemed to be mapping the river.
